One of the items I scored this weekend at the food bank were plums. I know that sounds weird but I kind a like plums and I was pleased to get a bag of plums.

I'm still hoping as the summer progresses and fruit trees begin to ripen that other points of bounty will be shared with those who could really use it. This week I also got caught on the called, many colored peppers and cucumbers and of course the ubiquitous zucchini and crookneck squash.
